Perhaps inspired by the success of Coronavirus fearmongering in impoverishing the formerly prosperous West, global warming enthusiasts are beginning to agitate to list “climate change” as the cause of death on death certificates. The widely observed practice of listing Coronavirus as the cause of death for anyone who died with it, not necessarily of it, has worked wonders in scaring people into accepting previously unheard-of abrogation of constitutionally guaranteed rights.
The seed for this propaganda offensive was just planted in a spinoff publication of The Lancet, the formerly prestigious British medical journal that has fallen to the forces of political correctness. In a letter appearing the The Lancet Planetary Health (hat tip: Breitbart), researchers at The Australian National University write:
National mortality records in Australia suggest substantial under-reporting of heat-related mortality. Less than 0·1% of 1·7 million deaths between 2006 and 2017 were attributed directly or indirectly to excessive natural heat (table). However, recent research indicates that official records underestimate the association at least 50-fold.
Understanding the degree to which environmental factors affect human health is important if the impact of climate change is to be fully appreciated.

In the left’s collective imagination, what is a greater “threat to humanity” than WuFlu?
Why, global warming - oops- climate change, of course.
Even before this coronavirus lockdown many on the left wanted to shutter the economy to “save the planet”.
Let there be no doubt in your mind that as soon as they get into power again they will use this lockdown as a model of how to save us all from the existential threat of the ManBearPig apocalypse.
Weather, not climate.

The problem for physicians would be to differentiate between climate change deaths and deaths due to COVID
Meanwhile here in New York we are a week away from June and I’m still wearing a sweater.
So true.
Do they record ‘stupidity’ as the cause of death for people who fall off cliffs taking selfies?
So, someone gets shot in a drive-by shooting. And dies. Is their death due to:
climate change
covid-19

Are we going to be subjected to charts and graphs depicting how this warming cycle is so much worse than previous warming cycles?
Well the micro climate sure changed. Body temp dropped from 98 degrees down to room temp.
